Freelance Writing? What...?

Well, with February dragging on, and the full 28 days that comprise this month, I decided to take all the free and open time that my life currently possesses and check out some of these annoying Google Ad sense advertisements that keep looming around on just about everything, everywhere on the internet.

One entire week, I searched, followed links, read and read, and cross linked a thousand different web sites and .com's, and Blog webs, and Vlogs, and you name it, I read it.

I now have a certain condition called; Internet Overload.

I feel myself drawn to this computer screen, knowing that just a few typed words will open the huge never ending vista to another online world.

What I have found is millions, trillions, and more trillions of bits of encrypted information flowing across my screen. Enough information to help even the dullest of people succeed at something!

It actually befuddles my mind, and I am trying desperately to stay afloat in this online sea of information.

What I have decided to do, is to try to narrow down what I think interests me the most, and to focus on learning about that topic, inside out.

This may take some time, because it now seems that I am having a very hard time in the narrowing down process. There is just too much on here that tempts a person to go take a look, and see what this new website offers.

I am beginning to wonder if any of them work at all?

But, in the course of this investigation, I have read where people are actually making a 6 figure income by freelance writing. Of course I realize that it took some time for them to be in that realm of figures, but, I wonder, why not me?

Everyone has to start out somewhere. All life's journey starts with a step, albeit, for me it will be a very little baby step, and very hesitant at that. But, as I mentioned in my last post, February doesn't have a whole lot to offer me anyway, but a home bound existence, so I may as well be learning something with all this free time.

Of course, this is a mere experiment that all my free time is affording me at the moment, and knowing how life is, it may all change overnight. That has been my luck. But for now, I am safe in studying and learning all that I can about free lance writing.

What seems to be frustrating, is that not all web sites that you can join up to post your work on is as easy as 1,2,3. Some sites actually want you to enter Html, or add hyperlinks, or add an embedded tag........ and in my mind, I say .............WHAT IS THAT?

So, I admit, I go back to some site I found and follow along what another person has done. I look up the portfolio on the author and read that she has a Masters degree.....and I almost give up with thoughts that I am no where near that .......

But, since its only me using up free time, and it is February, I decide that I may as well bear with this for a while, and just see what I can do.

Now, I am not promising ANYTHING!!! I may throw up my fingers in dismay, and just get a normal job, but, for now, I am a student of freelance writing. That sounds fun! And a bit concocted, but if other freelancers on the web actually have a Masters degree and are working on their PH..then I am in good company.

Wish me luck as I enter yet another adventure in this thing called life!

The maze continues.
